Other recent books by Countryman include Living on the Border of the Holy, on the meaning of priesthood, and The Poetic Imagination: An Anglican Spiritual Tradition.
The lectures on May 2 are 10:15 a.m. to noon (“Luke: Jews, Gentiles, Christians”); and 2 to 3:30 p.m. (“John: Are the Jews Us or Them?”). A book signing follows. On May 3 Countryman’s topic is “The New Testament and Interfaith Realities.” The event will be held in Washburn Hall and is free and open to the public.
